me?" Delighted, the girl quickly responded, "How about $50?" The man
agreed and told her that the paint brushes and everything she would need
was in the garage. The man's wife, hearing the conversation said to her
husband, "Does she realize that our porch goes ALL the way around the
house?"
He responded, "That's a bit cynical, isn't it?" The wife replied,
"You're right. I guess I'm starting to believe all those dumb blonde jokes
we've been getting by email lately." Later that day, the blonde teenager
came to the door to collect her money. "You're finished already?" the
startled husband asked. "Yes, she replied, and I even had paint left
over, so I gave it two coats." Impressed, the man reached into his pocket

Love that one....my DD, who is a natural blonde (now 13), when she was 10 saw a t-shirt that she just had to have. It read "I had a nightmare I was a blond". As it was very clear that she understood the irony of a blond wearing something like that, we bought it. You would be amazed at the number of people that stopped her when she was wearing it and said something along the lines of 'but honey, you are a blond'. Her response was always polite, but direct "I know, that's why it is funny". Shocked quite a few of them that someone that of her age would get that humor.
Our youngest daughter is blonde, and has an I.Q. OF 150. :)
